i like Keanu as much as the next chap but this just looks terrible. over reliance on cgi will hopefully be looked back upon as one of the biggest mistakes in 21st Century movies. I mean who the fuck cares about dragons and people that turn into bits of floaty cloth?! I'll take DeNiro and his other Ronin roaring round Europe any day (even if the fake cgi smoke from the wheels of that big old Merc was totally unwarranted!) THIS. LOOKS. SHIT.

......Take a perfectly good story based on fact and fuck it up with a storyline involving "a savage world of mythic beasts, shape-shifting witchcraft and wondrous terrors"?! Based on the budget figures being talked about, this film had the potential to be a samurai epic in the same vein as 13 Assassins on an even grander scale - now it seems CGI heavy and is drawing comparisons to 300 and seems far too far removed from reality........... Granted no one has seen the finished article yet, but it looks like a wasted opportunity to finally tell this story on the type of scale and with the type of budget it deserved
